3. Greek architecture is a very specific type of design.
Many important Greek buildings had two special components;
ARCHITRAVE
COLUMNS
CAPITOL
columns-which are large upright posts. Architrave-a roof over the top.

4. Even though Greek architecture seems simple some of it was very detailed.
The architraves (roofs) were carved with leaves and flowers,
scenes of battles, and even mythological creatures.
The columns were decorated with lines and leaves and other designs at the very tops and very bottoms.

5. Ancient Greeks had many rules to follow when making buildings.
how wide the columns could be
how tall the columns could be
how many columns a building needed.

6. There a 3 main types of columns:
DORIC
IONIC
CORINTHIAN

• Ionic: is more decorative than the Doric. The columns are taller and thinner. The top of the columns are decorated with scrolls and other patterns. The bases of the columns are also decorated.
